Many of us have fallen into a cyber scam for one reason or another. Its either that pop up that came up to tell you your computer was infected or that website you thought was real. It was all a scam no matter how you look at it. Although cyber security can protect a company from people from the outside it cannot protect the naive on the inside. Any person is susceptible to these kind of scams. Lets give a "WOO" to phishing scams. Phishing scams work on the basis that a person is too lazy to check if the URL of a website if the actual websites URL or the dummy websites URL. It tricks you into thinking thats your on the real website and when you input your information, say "bye bye". To your information it is now compromised and everything you have is now public knowledge. Another type of scams that some people may use is the pop up scam where a pop up from the INTERNET tell you that you have a virus, the pop up tricks you into buying or installing an quote on quote "Anti Virus". But when its installed in your computer your computer will malfunction your information will be compromised and at some point the virus might even try to take over your computer when your doing important stuff. This is a flaw in cybersecurity in general because it allows people with domain names almost like your to trick people into putting the trust into them while it is the persons fault for not being able to notice the small change in the URL. These are just 2 of the most common scams that happen on the internet. Some of them may be known but are rare because not many people fall for them or people haven't
noticed them as scams.
